1 Hemlock ( Tsuga canadensis) is cut in the Lake States, Northeastern States, and the Appalachian region. 
Western hemlock ( Tsuga heterophylla) is manufactured in Washington and Oregon. 
Black (or western mountain) hemlock ( Tsuga mertensiana) is cut in small quantities. Carolina hem- 
lock ( Tsuga caroliniana) is occasionally cut in the Appalachian region. 
WESTERN YELLOW PINE. 
Stimulated cutting in practically all of the producing States re- 
sulted in a total production of 1,865,282,000 feet of western yellow 
pine, an increase of 11 per cent over the 1916 cut_ While the out- 
put in the chief State of production, California, was less by 3 per cent 
than the year before, the output in Oregon was 18 per cent, in Idaho 
31 per cent, and in Washington 15 per cent greater than in 1916. 
Oregon's cut was 25.2 per cent of the total production of western 
yellow pine in 1917; in 1916 it was 23.7 per cent. California's cut 
was 25.6 per cent of the whole in 1917 and 29.4 per cent in 1916. 
Through changes in operations New Mexico took sixth place in rank 
of production, which was occupied by Arizona last year. 
The average mill value for western yellow pine in 1916 was $14.52 
per 1,000; in 1917 it was $19.59, an advance of $5.07, or 35 per cent, 
during the year.
